If you had ~$5000 cash tomorrow...

Those Impala SS's really hold their value. A 5k one would be a royal hunk of shit.

 

And LS1 F-body at that price is pushing into problem territory/very high miles.

 

Could get a decent LT1 car for that.

 

Yeah the Impalas do hold their value really well, but occasionally you can find a decent one for cheap that only needs minor work. Someone on CR got one for pretty much nothing and it didn't need a whole lot.

 

The Trans Am in the corral on here is under $5k and doesn't seem like it needs much, just an example. Although you are correct, the miles certainly aren't low.

My suggestions:

- Porsche 944

- Toyota MR2

 

944's are OK, but make sure the timing belt has been done recently, holy shit are they expensive. The water pump alone was like $400 plus for the part. The cost is way higher, although they handle like a mid engine car.

 

Mazda Miata

Non-Turbo Z32 300zx

C4 Corvette

FC RX7 in nice shape

FB RX7

Datsun 240Z

3rd Gen F-body

BMW Z3

Ragged out stang with bad paint... nope. That appears to be a good deal for someone wanting to wrench on something though.

+1 for the MR2 91-93 years. Might get a turbo for that price. I have a friend selling a '71 Datsun 240z in ok shape for 40 years for $3500.

 

Miata

944 (parts are a lot, but hella fun to drive)

older corvette

Z3 or 4

90's M3

[Gergwheel1647545492]

i would recommend a GTP or a bonneville, but you already have that, so I can't offer anything, except maybe go for a scubby and have AWD fun in the snow.

[Richard Cranium]

Just don't be in a hurry. Deals will come along. I spent 6 months looking for my Impala SS. She's not perfect, but the price was right and she's getting better.

b5 a4

 

+1

 

throw in another grand and or 5K + 1K worth of hooker and ill let my B5 a4 go, Ill even throw in a set of eagle F1 rubbers for track days...true story

I've seen bug eyes go that cheap. But they would be in rough condition.

[Littleguy]

Hmm...I'd say S14 240SX...light, rwd, reliable. But I am a little biased considering I just picked one up.

Tomorrow. I should be able to do the sr20 swap with everything for under $6K including the car.

[Farkas]

I mean, I did buy my VR6 GTI for only 4,994

Very rare in the US, something like 1750 imported in 1990 and 1991. And it's worth the drive, Im looking at picking it up if my car sells soon enough.

Yup, stock motor is a 5cyl N/A 20v
